small screen size

Hi all,

my brother has an older pc which has a small monitor, anyway i have just given him an old copy of windows 2000 (previously running 98) just to upgrade him.

The problem is that the screen is a pain in the butt cos every program has two scroll bars to operate to view the whole page.

I have tried control panel > display> settings but the pc is set to its smallest setting.

any better ideas?
A banker is someone who lends you an umbrella when the sun is shining, and who asks for it back when it start to rain.

    What are the other settings available?

    Try a screen resolution setting of 800x600 if it's an option.

    If that doesn't help, try reinstalling the graphics drivers or getting the latest ones. G
